Auction finds
You’d be surprised at what goes across the block sometimes

Special to The Dallas Post
What do a baby lamb, an oddshaped “vase,” a Nancy Drew book and a antique dress have in common? If you guessed that they are all items that have been purchased at previous Back Mountain Memorial Library Auctions… you are correct. Many patrons have responded to our informal survey and have reported that “just about anything” can be found at the Auction. Although most people wanted to remain anonymous about their previous purchases, a few brave “shoppers” were willing to share their stories. Lucy Messersmith, of Dallas, tells the story of her father’s surprise auction “win” back in the 1960s when livestock animals were the highlight of auction fun. Lucy’s father was the lucky high bidder of a baby lamb, and that night was definitely an unforgettable one for Lucy’s family.

also found a fourth book with no dust jacket for only $2. When she returned home, she was thrilled to find it was a rare first edition of the very first volume in the series, “The Secret of the Old Clock.” Even without the original dust jacket, its value is approximately $450. Not a bad return for a little digging at the auction! Bette Gillespie was happy to share her memory of a beautiful antique dress she bid on at a past auction. However, another woman placed a higher bid and won the dress. The next day Bette received a phone call from the woman, offering the dress to her at Bette’s bidding price. “I wore the dress to a New Year’s Party and still have it!” she proudly exclaims. Other favorite items included a bicycle that the new owner proudly rode home from the auction, all the way from Dallas to Wilkes-Barre, a chest of drawers for only $12, a “ridi-

Festival attendees were able to sample all wines and food was avaiilable for purchase. Wineries also sold wine by the bottle and the case. The Rotary Club takes on a daunting list of projects which require funding every year. Sandy Peoples, public relations chair for the 80-year-old group, listed a Christmas shopping spree for 45 needy children in the Dallas, LakeLehman and Northwest School districts, a book scholarship program, a dictionary program which distributes 400 dictionaries to area third-graders and support for a number of institutions, including the Senior Center, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army.

For the record … In a sports story in the June 30 issue of The Dallas Post, it was incorrectly reported that the Giants won the AAA championship in the Back Mountain Little League. The Angels actually won that championship by defeating the Giants, 9-8. The Dallas Post regrets the error.

Supervisors learn about Smart911 service Susan Bettinger
Dallas Post Correspondent
Back Mountain Regional representative Chief Harry Vivian discussed the Smart911 service at the July 2 supervisors meeting. The Luzerne County service is free and secure. Residents create a safety profile where they enter vital medical information on the Smart911.com website. The information will be immediately displayed to emergency responders in cases where the caller is unable to respond to questions regarding medications and medical
conditions. The profile will also give immediate information on any residents or pets that may be trapped in a home in the event of a fire. Another feature of the service is that it shows photos and gives descriptions of children in cases of missing or runaway children. The service is used by police departments, fire departments and ambulances and saves time in emergency situations. It is 100 percent private and secure and can be used in partnership with other counties throughout the United States who utilize the Smart911 service.
In other business: The board of supervisors is moving forward with plans to purchase a 2012 Bobcat Skid Steer for $43,187.36 from Costars. The vehicle has a universal front end for different attachments, including an asphalt grinder which will need to be rented on a monthly basis. The cost of the vehicle falls within the budget of $50,000 allotted for the purchase. The supervisors were scheduled to take formal action on the matter at the end of the week. There was a discussion regarding a track of vacant
land given to the Kunkle Fire Department which should have been put on the tax exempt rolls but wasn’t. Supervisors have agreed to accept service from the fire department in order for it to claim tax exempt status. Solicitor Tom Brennan said the board will look into making the service agreement retroactive for the 2011 and 2012 tax years, giving the fire department tax exempt status beginning with the 2011 tax year and moving forward. Also up for discussion was the requirement for the township to provide an impound lot for towed vehicles. Chairman
Frank Wagner suggested a location that is already partially fenced and has room for three to four vehicles. The entire lot would need to be fenced and given approval prior to being used. Engineer Tom Doughton and the supervisors discussed the proposed 2013 OCD project - a foot bridge near the Kunkle Fire Station. Doughton stated the DEP permit for the project was submitted earlier in the day and added he thinks the bridge will cost less than the $40,000 budgeted for it. The bridge will likely be five or six feet wide, accessible
for 2-way traffic, as well as for handicapped citizens’ scooters. There was concern that, because the bridge is excessively wide, residents would use the bridge for quads and ATVs. The previously scheduled public hearing to consider and solicit public input and comment on a proposed ordinance to amend the township’s Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance has been re-scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, and will be followed by the board of supervisors meeting at 7 p.m.
Little People partners with ENX2 LLC ENX2 LLC recently announced that it has come to an agreement with Dallas Little People to become a sponsor for R3 OPS – The Mud Run With Options, to be held Saturday, July 20, at Northeast Fairgrounds in Pittston Township.

KT public works department gets new vehicle The Kingston Township Board of Supervisors recently accepted delivery of a new 2013 Ford F150 for the township’s public works department.

From left, are Road Superintendent Donald Fritzges, Supervisor Chairman Jeffrey Box, Supervisor Vice-Chair Shirley Moyer and Supervisor Sam Barbose.
Kingston Township purchases two new police vehicles The Kingston Township Board of Supervisors recently accepted delivery of two new police vehicles to add to the township police department’s fleet. The township purchased a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor AWD Sedan and a 2013 AWD SUV. The vehicles were purchased through the states Co-Star’s program and replace two older rear-wheel drive Ford Crown Victoria sedans with over 300,000 miles combined. The township will sell the used sedan at an auction in later this summer. From left, are Chief James Balavage, Supervisor Chairman Jeffrey Box, Supervisor Vice-Chair Shirley Moyer and Supervisor Sam Barbose.

We certainly appreciate everyone who donated raffle baskets, plants, food and beverages, odds and ends, books, baked goods and monetary donations. We also thank the various vendors, (some of which have been attending our “Market” for many years) stationed around the Meadows campus and, of course, all the visitors that enjoy and support this annual event. We are so grateful for our adult and teen volunteers, employees, residents, family members, friends, business sponsors, community groups and all who participated in so many different ways. Everyone’s hard work and commitment to our residents is commendable. “Market on the Pond” proceeds will help to purchase special equipment for our residents as well as sponsor special events, outings and socials that bring joy and an enhanced life at the Meadows.

moments In tIme The History Channel * On July 15, 1888, the Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The eruption left an 8,000foot crater in the earth. In the aftermath, the ash from Bandai dimmed the sun slightly worldwide for months. * On July 21, 1899, Ernest Miller Hemingway, author of such novels as “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea,” is born in Oak Park, Ill. The influential American literary icon became known for his straightforward prose and use of understatement. * On July 17, 1920, Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible for the three-point lap-and-shoulder seatbelt, is born. Before 1959, only two-point lap belts were available in automobiles, and for the most part, the only people who regularly buckled up were race-car drivers. * On July 16, 1945, the Manhattan Project comes to an explosive end as the first atom bomb is successfully tested in Alamogordo, N.M. The destructive power
was the equivalent of 15,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT. The original $6,000 budget for the Manhattan Project ballooned to a total cost of $2 billion. * On July 19, 1956, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles announces that the United States is withdrawing its offer of financial aid to Egypt to help with the construction of the Aswan Dam on the Nile River. The Soviet Union rushed to Egypt’s aid, and the Aswan Dam officially opened in 1964. * On July 18, 1969, shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours. * On July 20, 1973, the actor and martial-arts expert Bruce Lee dies in Los Angeles at age 32 from a brain edema possibly caused by a reaction to a prescription painkiller. His film, “Enter the Dragon,” was released in the United States one month after his death.

Paige Selenski celebrates birthday in big way Tom Robinson For The Dallas Post
The United States women’s field hockey team is trying to prove it is better than it showed in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Dallas High School graduate Paige Selenski is part of that process while trying to show she can be a better player at 23 than she was as a 22-year-old Olympian and college All-American. “You can always improve in multiple areas,” Selenski said in a telephone interview last month after being named to the latest Women’s National Team. Selenski showed an increase in scoring prowess on the international level while celebrating her 23rd birthday in England on June 30 with a hat trick during a 6-0 win over Italy in
the World League Semifinals. “Defensively, I can improve and I need to improve in the scoring circle on the international level,” Selenski said prior to the tournament. “You don’t get a lot of time to shoot when you’re playing against the best players in the world. “You really have to keep working on your skills every day. For me, that’s really in the attacking 25.” No one attacked better than Selenski for the United States when it finished strong following a rough start in the World League Semifinals where it was hoping to lock up a guaranteed spot in next year’s World Cup. Selenski finished with five goals in the six-game tournament. The United States lost its first four games and the hopes of clinching the World Cup berth early. After losing
any hope of finishing in the top four, the team came back to win its final two games and improve its hopes of still earning a spot in the World Cup in The Netherlands. Selenski scored the first goal in a 3-1 win over Spain on June 29. She forced a penalty corner 25 minutes into the game then scored on that corner. The win meant the United States would end the event with a game against Italy to determine fifth and sixth place out of eight teams in the field. Italy had defeated the United States, 2-1, during the pool play portion of the tournament. Selenski, the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year while at the University of Virginia, helped make sure the rematch had a different result.
The United States was up, 2-0, when the Shavertown resident scored three goals in a 10-minute span of the second half to break the game open. “There is a real solid work ethic and a hunger to learn,” Team USA coach Craig Parnham said of the team’s performance, according to a story on the USA Field Hockey website. “We are excited about the future of this group.” The United States can qualify for one of the remaining World Cup spots based on world rankings and finish in the World League Semifinals. Continental champions also qualify. The team has returned to the United States to prepare for its continental championship, the Pan American Cup in Mendoza, Dallas native Paige Selenski celebrated her 23rd birthday on June 30 by scoring a hat trick during a 6-0 win field hockey win over Argentina in late September.

Little League All Star Action
BMT American battles to defeat Horlacher
Back Mountain American had to battle to the end to defeat Bob Horlacher, 11-6, in the District 31 Little League Major division winners bracket final. American, the defending champion, was scheduled to play at home Friday against the team that emerges from the elimination bracket and can win the title with a victory. Horlacher was set to host the leimination bracket final Wednesday, playing Northwest. American lead-off hitter Michael Luksic hit the second
pitch he saw over the left-field fence as part of his 4-for-4 day. Ethan Zawatski followed and did the same, swatting the second offering over the right-center fence. The hits were part of a four-run first for American. Horlacher clawed back within 6-2 in the bottom of the second, using American errors and an RBI single by Tyler Faux to score the runs. But again, American struck for four runs, this time in the fourth. Luksic had an RBI double, Derek Answini had an RBI single
and Dalton Simpson knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, pushing American’s lead to 10-2. Horlacher roared right back with four runs of its own, cutting the deficit to 10-6. Mike Lee drove in two runs with a single and Cole Coolbaugh brought in another with a groundout. Horlacher, though, couldn’t get the offense going in the last two innings. It was retired in order in the sixth, the only time all game either team went 1-2-3.
